This is another place where I think technologists miss the forest for the trees. You're looking the outputs and results looking for a middle ground, but misunderstanding the problem of generative AI in art is the act of creation itsel

I have this deep feeling that engineers have a fundamental misunderstanding of the arts, which is reinforced when there is a suggestion that "heavy integration" of generative AI into multimedia production apps is somehow desirable

I've never really used Claude for writing code, becuase I'm not really bottlenecked by that problem. I have used it quite a bit for asking questions about what code to write and it's almost always wrong (usually in subtle way

That may be the worst counterexample you could conjure up. The first self sustaining nuclear reactor, electronic computers, information theory itself, etc were all political projects that are impossible to divorce from politics. They even m

Rust doesn't store dependencies under your project dir, but it does build them under your target.

I have imagined this, because I've worked on products where our first time user had never used a CLI tool or REPL before. It's a nightmare. That said, it's no less a nightmare than every other CLI tool, because even our most

My experience with conda is that its fine if you're the original author of whatever you're using it for and never share it with anyone else. But as a professional I usually have to pull in someone else's work and make it func

The point I'm making is that its OS vendors job to develop one platform, not software that works on multiple. It seems like you misunderstand that. They don't have a moral obligation to develop APIs that work for other platforms

by duped 2y ago
You're not talking about "good" APIs but "the same API." And if you're going to argue that operating system vendors should provide the same APIs for things that are deeply integrated into the value they provi

App developers won't do it if the toolkit doesn't support it and make it extremely easy to use. It's also not that different, because platforms often offer richer/better APIs than POSIX and application frameworks use t

The SVF has the same computational complexity as a TDF2 biquad (as it is after all, a TDF2 biquad). There are more efficient structures than either (eg: state space canonical forms which play nice with common matrix/vector arithmetic).

Why should OS vendors spend money devaluing their product? It's up to the cross platform software developers to make abstractions that work across platforms, not on platform developers to make things that work on other platforms. J

looks like the DSP is using a TDF-2 biquad filter topology. This can have undesirable artifacts in the presence of modulation/automation. Normally that's fine (it's why the classic EQ cookbook formula and design has lasted so

The only way to kill 500,000 people practically is to do it by the letter of the law. Murder (especially for money) doesn't scale without being a state or quasi state actor, or something on that tier.

My spiciest take is that "executives being gunned down in the street" is the natural consequence of the philosophy that corporations are amoral and have no duty but distributing profit to their shareholders.

State governments already operate special rural transportation services, like busses or even volunteers. Think people who are sick/injured and can't get to healthcare services because they can't drive. It's not unreasona

I think ultimately the solution to this problem is the same as it was for electrification and telco: government funded mandates to provide service to populations where it's otherwise uneconomical. One interesting thing today is that Co
